The Italian Islamic community has condemned Friday's sermon at a mosque in Birmingham, England, in which an imam described in detail how to stone to death women for committing adultery.
In a statement, the Italian Islamic Religious Community (COREIA) said it "firmly condemned" the Birmingham imam and his "brutal technical description of a female stoning for adultery during Friday's prayers".
COREIS descibed as "puerile" the imam's trying to justify the sermon by saying his words on female adultery and its rightful punishment according to the Koran had been taken out of context.
